Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Place the pepper halves skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the olive oil.
Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven, place them in a bowl, and cover with a plate to trap the steam. Let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins of the peppers and discard them.
In a food processor, combine the peeled peppers, garlic cloves, cream cheese, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
